For vocals I use a Sennheiser MKE 4032 and for instrumental I change out to my Rode NT3. The pedals are daisy chained for a 1000ma wall wart with the option to use a USB 5v to 9v 1000ma converter cable with a negative center 5.5mm barrel. I use a 10,000 ah rechargeable USB iPhone charger batterie so there is no need for ac power, wall warts or 9v/AA batteries. On the voltage conversion of 5v to 9v, it probably reduces the ah in half. The only caveat is that you are limited to under 1000ma total on your pedals. Digital pedals suck more than analog ones. It's not the audiophile high end gear, but the cost for me was reasonable and unlike a do all in one pedal, you can switch, mix and match individual pedals. My only rule is that it has to fit in either of my Harbor Freight cases.

Thank you sir!

I didnt know about the Mic Mechanic! Looks like a good option to use as a second source while I’m saving up for an Anthem or something, and then borrow my electric board for some reverb and stuff. Only thing Im wondering is if I still need a preamp after all these!
